I don’t even know why I ever liked this song. It is pretty ridiculous. I guess at the time I was an emotional wreck and I would listen to anything that made me feel a little bit better about myself. But this song, now that I listen to it …

Billy’s Christmas Wish by Red Sovine is one of the few Christmas songs that makes me want to cry every time I hear it because of how it talks about a poor boy that has run away. This song is about a boy who’s dad is in jail and …

The Black Keys, a blues rock duo out of Ohio, has been releasing records since the early 2000’s, but truly broke through to mainstream success with the release of 2010’s “Brothers.” A good friend of mine, who’s gotten me into countless bands, turned me onto the Keys years back, …

Starlight is a track by Muse which appears on Black Holes And Revelations. Compared to most of the other tracks on this record, I suppose that I would call Starlight the most mainstream or at least most accessible track on the album. The structure of the track is very …

Star Trek - The Next Generation: Original Soundtrack Recordings by Jay Chattaway is a very enjoyable audio CD that contains numerous memorable tracks such as music from “The Inner Light”, one of the show’s most touching and beautiful
episodes, in part because of the flute music. This CD also contains …

Pieces Of What is a song by MGMT which appears on their second release, Oracular Spectacular. At this point in the album, the previous six tracks have all been brilliant, but unfortunately I’d say Pieces Of What is where the album goes from brilliant to just sort of solid. …

Live in Hollywood was made in RBD’s first L.A. (U.S.A) concert in January 2006 (Jan. 21st) in Los Angeles’s famous Pantages Theater. This cd is very cool and fun, because rbd is one of the best musical group that I already have seen. Their musics are impressive because there …

Exile is a song by Slayer which starts out in an extremely heavy fashion, as most Slayer songs do, before Araya comes in with the vocals of the track. Now typically I like Slayer a bit and think they’re a good metal band but the sound on Exile is …

I’ve never heard of Chris Daughtry nor his band Daughtry. But when I heard the song ‘Home’, I came to appreciate his music.
Then, there was a radio station which played ‘Over You’. Upon hearing that music, I admired Chris Daughtry’s music all the more.
The way Chris Daughtry interprets the …

I’m not a fan of action movies as a rule, but when my favorite actor, Patrick Swayze, made one (Black Dog), I had to go see it. Lo and behold, I actually loved the movie. I watch it more than I do at least half of the …

Overview —“ Highway To Hell, AC/DC’s sixth effort, is my personal favorite record out all of all of their releases, whether with Bon Scott or with Brian Johnson. Unfortunately, this record is the last to feature Bon Scott as AC/DC’s vocalist who unfortunately died the following year and was …

Hail to the Thief is a really good record. I personally see this album as a return to form for Radiohead after some slightly dodgy albums, like Kid A and Amnesiac, in particular Amnesiac. The problem with those two albums, from my personal point of view, is that, when …

Funny is a song by Scars On Broadway which appears on their self-titled debut record. Going along with Serious, the opening track of the album, Funny is sort of the opposite of Serious because it is far more melodic and more moderately paced than Serious which was extremely aggressive …

What has happened to Michael Learns To Rock lately..? They have not been making any music; not that I know of. They are an icon personally to me and it would be a real great loss in the music industry if they are really not there anymore. …

This was my fourth year at the festival and yet again I had a really great time.
I’m not a prolific festival goer, but have been to a few others - namely V Festival - and find they can be quite commercial, over-crowded and raucous. People go to get very …

I actually look at Jermaine Jackson as the best singer of the Jackson Family, although I often get shouted at for saying that. Jermaine could have easily gotten to the heights that his brother Michael Jackson did if he had his heart truly into the music, but instead he …
